WHEEL-LANDSIDE PLOW.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters. Patent No. 292,401, dated January .22, 1884.

Application filed September 28, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL SQBARGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hampton, in the county of Franklin and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in XVheel-L'andside Plows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved means for attaching to walkingplows an oblique wheel-landside, whereby the axle of said oblique wh eel-landside can be set at any distance desired in rear of the mold-board, and at the same time be firmly supported by the handles,

and standard of the plow, and also an improved rim to a landside-wheel.

The nature of my improvements will be more fullyunderstood from the description .which I will now proceed to give of the same with reference to the accompanying-drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a rear view, of my improved wheel-landside plow. Fig. 3 is a detail view, showing the bracket between which and the mold-board the mold-board handle is fastened. Fig.4 is another view of said bracket, and Fig. 5 is a central section of the wheel-landside.

A is the attachment-arm on landside of plow, made of iron or steel, and so bent and made as to fit the standard A and handle A It is attached to the standard A by a bolt, a, passed through the slot a in the standard, thesaid slot permitting front end of the arm to be raised or lowered, thus raising or lowering the wheel. The arm A is also fastened to the handle A by the bolt (1. The wheel-landside B is attached to the arm A by passing its axle. E through the slot 0 in said arm at a point in rear of the mold-board, said slot 0 permitting the wheel-landside to be moved nearer to or farther from the mold-board D. Said arm A has a quarter-twist near the slot 0 to a proper angle to receive the aXle E of theoblique wheel-landside B, as shown. The attachment-arm A might be fastened by bolt and slot to the beam, instead of to the standard.

O is the V shaped attachment arm or brace on the right-hand or mold-board side of plow. It is attached at one end of the V to the moldsboard handle A by means of a bolt or bolts, e, which pass through the slots e, and

fasten the handle to the mold-board D, and it is fastened at the other end of the V to the mold-board D by another bolt, f,which passes through a slot, f. The slots e and f permit 'the wheel to be raised or lowered accordingly as the landside attachmentarm A is adjusted by its slot a, while a slot, 9, in the lower end or point of the V-shaped attachment-arm 0 permits the wheel tosbe moved nearer to or farther from the mold-board D, accordingly as the wheel is adjusted by the slot 0 in the arm A. By means of the above adjustment, I can accommodate the angle of the wheellandside to the vertical and lateral pressure upon the mold-board, and can increase or diminish the distance from the mold-board, as may be required in the use of a larger or smaller wheel. Z is a round rim to the land side-wheel B. The round rim obviating in a greater degree than a flat or beveled rim the disposition of the rim to cut or press into the bottom or side of the furrow, it will better fit and adjust itself to the angle of the furrow than any other kind of a rim, and does not gather up and clog with dirt in any kind of soil, asbeveled or fiat rimmed wheels do.

wheel than canbe used under the mold-board, because it is less liable to clog than a smaller wheel, and said wheel, being placed on an axle in the rear of the mold-board and enlarged, serves the further purpose of making a longer support to the plow, and at the same time it is important that so large a wheel shall be very firmly supported. It is also desirable to have a round rim to a landside-wheel, for the purposes hereinbefore set out.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that the attachments A and 0 enable me to use a larger wheel'than heretofore, and at the same time afford the desired firm support therefor. Besides this, they afford facilities for adjusting the wheel backward and forward and up and down, and the round rim Z enfit any angle of the furrow, and does not gather dirt and clog, as other wheels with beveled peripheries do.

I am aware that walking-plows have been constructed with wheel-landsides. Therefore I lay no claim,broadly, to such invention. My

It is sometimes desirable to have a larger ables me to use a landside-wheel which will claim as to the attachments and adjustments of the wheel to the rear of the mold-board is intended specially as an improvement on the plows described in Letters Patent Nos. 62,367, 195,642, and 244,787, which show the wheel- ]andside under the n1old-board, and on similar plows.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a walking'plow provided with handles A A and a standard, A, of the large oblique wheel-landside B, forming a rolling landside-support, the axle of which is in rear of the mold-board, and is supported at one end by the described attachsubstantially as and for the purpose described. 25
